December 18th
Transfers are tomorrow and we
don't have to go!!! We get to stay together another transfer :] We
didn't think it would happen but it seems like President is keeping
people together for a lot longer. Thank goodness too. We have a lot of
work to do here.
We had our ward Christmas party
on Saturday and it was so much fun!!! There were so many people there
and it was a good night. This one couple in the ward hasn't been to
church in over 10 years for whatever reason and we meet with them every
now and then. We went over to visit M a few days ago and invited
her to the party and her and P came!!! It was so cool! They got to
meet a lot of new people so hopefully they'll want to start coming back
to church as well. I would imagine it would be pretty scary to start
going back to church after you hadn't gone in a long time but they seem
ready and excited.
Yesterday after district
meeting we got together with the other sisters in the ward and K and
we went caroling. It was awesome! We went to a few members homes and
then we went to a rest home and sang to a bunch of the people there.
Man, we sounded so good.. I'm trying to talk them into doing a musical
number in sacrament. This Sunday is our Christmas program at church and
we're all in choir so I guess that's like the same. I'm really excited
for that! I just love singing and I love choir and I'm so glad that it's
working out that I can be in choir.
Last week we were invited
along with other missionaries to a Christmas party at the Lorenzo Snow
home. The couple who owns it are not members but they love history and
they restored the home. So they gave us a tour and we ate and got to
mingle. It was really fun :] All of these things are adding to the
Christmas spirit and making the holidays perfect :]
And of course being in
Kirtland for the holidays is amazing.. I had been praying for a miracle
to happen at sites and when we were there last week we met a woman named
D. She was so sweet and as we took her on tour she said, "I knew
right when I walked inside that I was standing on holy ground!" Before
she knew anything that had happened there!! We gave her a full tour and
she just loved it! She had so much faith and just knew that the sacred
events that happened there really did occur. We gave her a Book of
Mormon and she gave us her number and said we could call whenever :]
I hope you had a great week! Love you,
Sister Maynard.
